This week saw the children complete their Ancient Egypt topic and begin their study of India. Please make sure you read the letter that went home with your child earlier in the week regarding the topic and the carnival, which takes place on the 21st June.

In English the children completed their internal monologues based on Little Freak. Our new topic, after half term, is about animals native to India. Your child has been set half term homework where they must choose one of the six animals provided and research facts about the habitat, behaviour and diet of their chosen animal. This must be handed in on the first day back as children will need it for their written work.

In maths we have started to look at shape, making links to properties and angles. Please get children to check their Sumdog accounts as maths homework has been set.

Have a lovely, restful half term break!
